I have too many black bags to post, but my favorites are:
Beautiful collection! I love the Gucci disco bag!
Another week has passed and I’ve not been around. Hope you are all keeping well. Like everyone else, I’ve been coordinating home schooling, working, older parents food deliveries etc etc. My siblings both have the virus in other parts of the country and one in particular has been very sick.

Handbags and shopping have just felt too frivolous in amongst all the stress but I appreciate the distraction when I can get here.

My Mulberry Cara has been on my back for the 30 minute walks I’ve been trying to take each day. It feels purposeful and practical to wear a back pack. We are allowed out for essential food shopping, deliveries to the vulnerable, key work that can’t be fine from home or exercise away from others once a day.

I do have several black bags for some point and missed sharing several pinks. Not sure my handbag stats are going to be of much use this year!

Take care everyone.
Katinahat, it's good to hear from you. I'm wishing your sibilings a speedy recovery.:hugs:

I have not used a bag for two weeks. I will start to track them once I start using them again, but not going to rush any bags out of the door due to low tracking.
 
I have. That's something really good for me to think about. She really took to food early, so she's been having dairy for almost half her life. Thank you for sharing and I will make sure to consider that for her!
It was my doctor who suggested it as a last resort before we considered tubes. My daughter also had issues with soy so we ended up using fortified organic rice milk. After taking her off dairy for a week we saw big changes.

Here are my black bags unchanged from last year. I plan on adding an Evelyne at some point, and in the much later future a vintage Hermes clutch. I don't have a clutch life at the moment, so no point in spending the $$$ to get one right now.

The Kelly was my first Hermes bag. She's a vintage 32cm Gulliver Kelly I won at an auction. I was amazed at the quality, then I was hooked. Then last year, after wanting to get a Birkin for over 20 years, I got one for a milestone birthday.

This my very first Designer bag, my pride and joy. I purchased this bag in my teens early 90s after saving up for 8 months working at Wendy's. She's in great shape, and I wear her often.

My L.K. Bennett leather clutch, I got this one and the suede version at great prices. The US website was closing. I wear both more often than I thought, they come with chain straps.

Last is my Shinola crossbody bag. I got this bag when Shinola opened their first boutique ever. It is nice to support (at the time) a small business. I use this for traveling, and concerts. I however need a crossbody thats a little more casual, roomier, so the Evelyne will fill the gap for that.

I was toying with the idea of adding a Chanel 226 re-issue, but the jury is out on that, i'll re-visit the idea later, if I feel I need to add one.

Beautiful black bags keodi. My favourite is your Gulliver Kelly - the leather! :love:
You can’t go wrong with adding either or both an Evelyne and a Reissue 226. They are my most used bags in my collection. Stay safe and be well. :flowers:
 
picture-book pretty!
May I ask which brand the 3 pouch set is?(Sorry, my fuzzy head can´t put the names from the list to the bags.) It´s so cute! Years ago I gave my daughter a 3 pouch set in 2 different shades of pink and one grey for her 18th birthday. They were Furla. I must ask her whether she still has them... the gift box I made is still there. I spotted this as a storage box in her wardrobe.

The 3 pouch set is from Michael Kors. I purchased them last year I think.

All your black bags are wonderful. But my favorite is the Coach (I'm assuming I'm right, that it is a Coach bag?) because of the story that goes with it. I love that you saved and saved, while still in your teens, to get the bag of your dreams. You had great taste then, and you still do! :flowers:

Thank you! Yes, it's a Coach bag, it's called the city bag, I had enough left over to purchase the matching coin purse, which I also purchased. I still have it!

Love your black bags. Nice range in them as well.
